The goal of this patch is to include more information about the host
environment into the perf.data so it is more self-descriptive. Overtime,
profiles are captured on various machines and it becomes hard to track
what was recorded, on what machine and when.

This patch provides a way to solve this by extending the perf.data file
with basic information about the host machine. To add those extensions,
we leverage the feature bits capabilities of the perf.data format.  The
change is backward compatible with existing perf.data files.

We define the following useful new extensions:
 - HEADER_HOSTNAME: the hostname
 - HEADER_OSRELEASE: the kernel release number
 - HEADER_ARCH: the hw architecture
 - HEADER_CPUDESC: generic CPU description
 - HEADER_NRCPUS: number of online/avail cpus
 - HEADER_CMDLINE: perf command line
 - HEADER_VERSION: perf version
 - HEADER_TOPOLOGY: cpu topology
 - HEADER_EVENT_DESC: full event description (attrs)
 - HEADER_CPUID: easy-to-parse low level CPU identication

The small granularity for the entries is to make it easier to extend
without breaking backward compatiblity. Many entries are provided as
ASCII strings.

Perf report/script have been modified to print the basic information as
easy-to-parse ASCII strings. Extended information about CPU and NUMA
topology may be requested with the -I option.

Thanks to David Ahern for reviewing and testing the many versions of
this patch.

Previously the hist_browser dealt with a static tree of entries, now it
needs to update the nr_entries in the browser after the timer runs.

A better solution will come when moving using another thread for the

When requesting multiple events, say:

  # perf top -e instructions -e cycles -e cache-misses

The first screen lets the user chose what to see first, then to switch
one can either use the left key to get back to the event menu or simply
use TAB to go the next and shift+TAB to go the prev.

The perf report -n option was broken because it was not reporting the
correct number of samples depending on the sorting mode. By default,
samples are sorted by comm,dso,sym. That means that samples for the same
command (binary) get collapsed.

The hists__collapse_insert_entry() had a bug whereby it was aggregating
the number of events observed (periods) but not the number of samples.
Consequently, the number of samples reported could be below reality. The
percentage remained correct because based on the periods.

This patch fixes the problem by also aggregating the number of samples.
Here is an example:

$ perf report -n --stdio
    12.38%        842     pong  [kernel.kallsyms]     [k] __lock_acquire

Here pong (a ctxsw stress test), is the only program running
and thus it is the only one responsible for the lock_acquire samples.

If we change the sorting mode:

$ perf report -n --stdio --sort=sym
    12.38%       1732  [k] __lock_acquire

The actual number of samples is shown.

With the fix:

$ perf report -n --stdio
    12.38%       1732     pong  [kernel.kallsyms]     [k] __lock_acquire

To disable it either:

1. Make sure newt-devel is not installed when building it

2. Use 'perf top --stdio' just like with report

3. Edit your ~/.perfconfig or system wide config and have this there:

[tui]

	top = off

But you shouldn't, since the TUI is so much more powerful, has
integration with annotation and where lots more interesting features
will be developed, so if something annoys you (the colors?) just let me
know and I'll do my best to make it pleasant as a default.

I.e. when in the annotate TUI window, if Enter is pressed over an
assembly line with a 'callq' it will try to open another TUI window with
that symbol.

This is just a proof of concept and works only on x86_64, more work is
needed to support kernel modules, userland, other arches, etc, but
should already be useful as-is.

This actually fixes several problems we had in the old 'perf top':

1. Unresolved symbols not show, limitation that came from the old
   "KernelTop" codebase, to solve it we would need to do changes
   that would make sym_entry have most of the hist_entry fields.
2. It was using the number of samples, not the sum of sample->period.

And brings the --sort code that allows us to have all the views in
'perf report', for instance:

[root@emilia ~]# perf top --sort dso
PerfTop: 5903 irqs/sec kernel:77.5% exact: 0.0% [1000Hz cycles], (all, 8 CPUs)

All the filter lists can be used as well: --dsos, --comms, --symbols,
etc.

The 'perf report' TUI is also reused, being possible to apply all the
zoom operations, do annotation, etc.

This change will allow multiple simplifications in the symbol system as
well, that will be detailed in upcoming changesets.

By using a mutex just for inserting and rotating two hist_entry rb
trees, so that when sorting we can get the last batch of entries created
from the ring buffer, merge it with whatever we have processed so far
and show the output while new entries are being added.

The 'report' tool continues, for now, to do it without threading, but
will use this in the future to allow visualization of results in long
perf.data sessions while the entries are being processed.

The new 'top' tool will be the first user.

Add the ability to disable PCI-E MPS turning and using the BIOS

discovered on some x86 chipsets, make this the default behavior.

Also, add the option for peer to peer DMA MPS configuration.  Peer to
peer DMA is outside the scope of this patch, but MPS configuration could
prevent it from working by having the MPS on one root port different
than the MPS on another.  To work around this, simply make the system
wide MPS the smallest possible value (128B).

Most asics just use the hw default value which requires
no explicit programming.  For those that need a different
value, the vbios will program it properly.  As such,
there's no need to program these registers explicitly
in the driver.  Changing MC_SHARED_CHREMAP requires a reload
of all data in vram otherwise its contents will be scambled.

Each event adds some points to its counters. By default it adds 1,
and a number of points may be transmited in event's parameters.

E.g. sched:sched_stat_runtime adds how long process has been running.

But this functionality was broken by v2.6.31-rc5-392-gf413cdb
and now the event's parameters doesn't affect on a number of points.

 ("hwmon: lis3: Power on corrections") caused a

clearing the BIOS setup, and no proper interrupt for DriveGuard will be
triggered any more.

Since the init code there is basically only for embedded devices, put a

This is a minor change.

Up until kernel 2.6.32, getsockopt(fd, SOL_PACKET, PACKET_STATISTICS,
...) would return total and dropped packets since its last invocation. The
introduction of socket queue overflow reporting [1] changed drop
rate calculation in the normal packet socket path, but not when using a
packet ring. As a result, the getsockopt now returns different statistics
depending on the reception method used. With a ring, it still returns the
count since the last call, as counts are incremented in tpacket_rcv and
reset in getsockopt. Without a ring, it returns 0 if no drops occurred
since the last getsockopt and the total drops over the lifespan of
the socket otherwise. The culprit is this line in packet_rcv, executed
on a drop:

drop_n_acct:
        po->stats.tp_drops = atomic_inc_return(&sk->sk_drops);

As it shows, the new drop number it taken from the socket drop counter,
which is not reset at getsockopt. I put together a small example
that demonstrates the issue [2]. It runs for 10 seconds and overflows
the queue/ring on every odd second. The reported drop rates are:
ring: 16, 0, 16, 0, 16, ...
non-ring: 0, 15, 0, 30, 0, 46, 0, 60, 0 , 74.

Note how the even ring counts monotonically increase. Because the
getsockopt adds tp_drops to tp_packets, total counts are similarly
reported cumulatively. Long story short, reinstating the original code, as
the below patch does, fixes the issue at the cost of additional per-packet
cycles. Another solution that does not introduce per-packet overhead
is be to keep the current data path, record the value of sk_drops at
getsockopt() at call N in a new field in struct packetsock and subtract
that when reporting at call N+1. I'll be happy to code that, instead,
it's just more messy.

If a VM is saved and restored (or migrated) the netback driver will no
longer process any Tx packets from the frontend.  xenvif_up() does not
schedule the processing of any pending Tx requests from the front end
because the carrier is off.  Without this initial kick the frontend
just adds Tx requests to the ring without raising an event (until the
ring is full).

This was caused by 47103041

 (net:
xen-netback: convert to hw_features) which reordered the calls to
xenvif_up() and netif_carrier_on() in xenvif_connect().

During a test where a pair of bonding interfaces using ARP monitoring
were both brought up and torn down (with an rmmod) repeatedly, a panic
in the timer code was noticed.  I tracked this down and determined that
any of the bonding functions that ran as workqueue handlers and requeued
more work might not properly exit when the module was removed.

There was a flag protected by the bond lock called kill_timers that is
set when the interface goes down or the module is removed, but many of
the functions that monitor link status now unlock the bond lock to take
rtnl first.  There is a chance that another CPU running the rmmod could
get the lock and set kill_timers after the first check has passed.

This patch does not allow any function to queue work that will make
itself run unless kill_timers is not set.  I also noticed while doing
this work that bond_resend_igmp_join_requests did not have a check for
kill_timers, so I added the needed call there as well.

Apart from the obvious cleanup, this should make the line

			cursor_end = x - xorigin + w;

correct now.
